If you are unsure, please contact support.ġ. For example, if your Welcome Email states that your account is on, your outgoing server name should be. If you would like for this message to not appear and are in a shared environment change the mail server to, where xx is your server number. It is perfectly safe to click allow for this. As a result when you use with IMAP there will be a warning asking you if you want to trust and accept an SSL certificate.

Also check the box that says “ Use Authentication” and fill in the “User Name” field with your Full Email Address and “ Password” with that account’s password.Īgain note, MacMail by default uses SSL. Check the box that says “ Use only this server“. The “ Outgoing Mail Server” field should be filled out with the same server that was used in the “ Incoming Mail Server” field. Fill out the “ Description” field as you see fit. Step 3: Much like the earlier screen for the Incoming Mail Server, we must now set the sending settings. If you are unsure, please contact support. Please note, MacMail uses SSL by default.
#SETTING UP EXCHANGE ACCOUNT ON MAC MAIL PASSWORD#
In the password field put the password for the email account. Just putting the part before the will cause the server to not be able to authenticate correctly. In the “ User Name” field put your Full Email Address. In the above example, the domain is, the mail server is. For “ Incoming Mail Server” the server name will be. For “ Description” you can enter anything you would like so you know what account this is (useful for if you have multiple accounts).

For account type select either POP or IMAP (If you would like to know the differences between POP and IMAP please consult: Getting Started Guide: Email).


To leave a copy of your messages on the server, select the Accounts pane in the Mail preferences window, then select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box next to Remove copy from server after retrieving a message.In this next screen you put in the information regarding how MacMail will receive email. That way they will be downloaded on each of the computers you use (assuming you set up the accounts on the other computers to also leave a copy of the messages on the server). If you use multiple computers and are using a POP account, you may want to leave a copy of your messages on the server. Click on Continue, then Done to create the new account. You will not be able to send messages until you fix the problem. Again, Mail will test the connection, but you can click on Continue even if it’s unsuccessful. You will be asked to provide the address of the outgoing server (this is usually smtp.domainname, but sometimes it’s the same as the incoming server). You can still click on Continue even if the connection to the incoming mail server was unsuccessful, but you will not be able to receive new messages until you fix the problem. Mail will attempt to connect to your incoming mail server to verify the settings you entered are correct. You will then be asked to provide the address of the incoming mail server (most of the time this is something like mail.yourdomainname–for USF it’s ) and your user name and password. This is the address that will be used when other people reply to your messages.
